Bibliogr.
"This report presents the designs of the national climate laws in the United Kingdom and eight EU Member States: Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Its findings are intended for policy-makers and interested stakeholders in the EU and beyond who are considering the implications of a net-zero economy and seek to understand and prepare themselves for the mammoth task of rewiring economic structures to become climate neutral. The insights can also inform the debate on the EU climate law, highlighting gaps in the existing European legislation that could be filled."
